Sweet Magnolias Farm Sneek Peek #2 ..for the Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks

Well here's another fun sneek peek at just 1 of the many upcycled furniture pieces that Abbey and I have been working on for the June 1st and 2nd Vintage Marketplace....

This Fabulous Upcycled Farmhouse Table ..  Once lived a rather useful life as a sewing machine Cabinet ...

Unfortunately the Sewing Machine head was not in working order and missing some parts  ..so we decided rather than the piece go to waste ..we would upcycle it into a useful piece for today !

We took out the sewing Machine head .. ... Added a shelf as you can see below ...

Painted her a lovely creamy white .. with butter cream yellow and creamy white checked inserts on the decorative doors and topped those off with vintage Garden Hose Bib Turn Handles for the new/old whimsical handles ...

It was rather cute just the way it was ..but .. laying in our stash of goodies from an old barn sale we went to last year was an old zinc table top and the two couldn't have been more perfect for one another ..it was the exact fit and looks just stunning.

Great For a Kitchen Centerpiece ... store your platters inside .. Great for an oversized nightstand for those of you with those big king size beds ... Lovely table for the family room ... or even cute for the Laundry room fold on top and store your soaps and laundry goods inside .. Such a Useful piece !

This Table turned out to be a stunning Piece for Farmhouse or Cottage ... and "YES" ...it will be headed to the Marketplace available first thing Friday Morning 9:00 a.m. when the gates open ..so be sure to get there early so you can grab a spot first in line to get in and get your first picks of the day !

More Sneek Peeks to come ... !

Happy Mothers Day .. From the Sweet Magnolias Farm Gals !

Wishing all the Mothers out there a most beautiful Day !

A Sweet Magnolias Farm Seal of Yummy Goodness Recipe .."Chocolate Skillet Cake"

Here at the Farmhouse ..we love good old Fashioned Cooking.. right from the Cast Iron Skillet...

We are a family that still Loves our roots of Mid-Western Cooking ..From Skillet Fried Chicken.. Homemade Mashed Pataters... Fried Green Beans ..and Buttermilk Biscuits ..

And .. Ya Just can't forget some good dessert to go with a good meal like that ..

So what better dessert to pair with a Good Old Fashioned Meal like that ..than some Fabulous "Chocolate Skillet Cake" .. what we call Yummy Goodness !

Abbey found this tempting recipe ..while pinteresting and just had to give it a try ..anything in Cast Iron Skillets and we're hooked.

And we're giving it our Sweet Magnolias Farm Seal of "Yummy Goodness"

So first you start off with all these ingredients and the Cast Iron Skillet Below ...

You Whisk it all together on your stove ...

You Throw it in the oven for about 20 minutes ..and it comes out looking amazing ..

Then ..No Cakes worth eating without some frosting ...so you throw all these ingredients together in your sauce pan on the stove ( No lactaid milk is not required ..just the only milk we use here at the farmhouse) .. for the most tantalizing chocolate frosting .. and then ...

You pour it all onto the Hot Cake ..

The Recipe we found ..called for Walnuts in the Frosting but I'm allergic to Nuts ..so we opted out on those ..and it also called for Caramel Sauce and Whip Cream ..and a scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream .. but we gave it our own Farmhouse Twist ..and instead .. paired the Skillet Cake with our Favorite .. Dulce De Leche Haagen Dazs Ice Cream ....

Serve Hot From the Oven ...

So is your mouth Watering ... Mine is ..I'm ready for another Chocolate Skillet Cake ... !

If you would like to make one yourself ..it's so simple .. So quick ..and you can find the pin for it ..On our "Butter My Buns and Call me a Biscuit" Pin Board Here
